Siegfried Kalus was born in 1960, is an academically trained librarian and lives in Munich. Although he is a confirmed punk fan from the very beginning, he believes that Bo Diddley and Lee Hazlewood are much more important than the Damned or the Dead Boys. After seeing the Cramps playing in London in 1979 he can't help put digging in the musical underground of the fifties and the sixties in search of the lost chord!

Between 1984 and 1996 he writes for different garage punk and rock and roll fanzines like Glitterhouse, What Wave, Ditch Digging, Exit 9 and Hartbeat.

At the Punk! Kongress he will hold a musical lecture about the roots of punk rock.

Kalus owns one of the best private record selections. Besides punk it contains a wide range of other musical styles. He is in good contact with the international music scene. His conclusion will be rather astounding. You'll surely hear some unexpected details that you won't find in the history books. Check it out and indulge yourself.
